It's a New Year!

Time to create those painting goals. Take a quick look at what you have been painting this past year and do some thinking about what you want to learn. The act of creating art is extremely nuanced with an incredible amount of knowledge to acquire. So give a little thought to where you are and where you'd like to head. Are you going to focus on color or brushwork or another artist's techniques? And how are you going to acquire this knowledge: through classes, self-study, peer groups? My questions are simplistic. Ask your own. Give it some thought and see where those thoughts take you.
Don't forget, if you're taking classes, sign-ups are now! Don't hesitate. My classes are filling and some are already full. This is most likely true wherever you live.
No matter how you choose to learn or what lesson you intend to undertake, remember to take it in small steps, learn through repetition, and don't judge your work! Paint and then let it go. Have fun, explore and allow yourself to enjoy this practice... because it's all practice.
Best Wishes to Everyone! Peace and love...and Happy Painting!
